The Transformers is a force for evil

[CptStern]

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy drank gasoline for five years to obtain "energy" - just as his idols "Bumble Bee" or "Optimus Prime" do in "Transformers," the Sichuan-based West China Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.

After the boy, in Yibin City, southwest Sichuan Province, had watched the animated TV series, he began to drink gasoline to become a "valiant fighter" like "Optimus Prime," his father told the newspaper.

"He began to drink gasoline five years ago, when we found he liked smelling lighter fuel," he said.

The parents talked to their son and asked him not to do it again. "But afterwards we found our motorcycle's gasoline was always disappearing, and one day when we found the boy had drunk a half bottle of gasoline stolen from the motorcycle, we were too shocked to say anything," the father said.

IQ dropped

They locked the motorcycle away after that but the boy began to steal gasoline from neighbors and was drinking more and more - two or three bottles at a time.

"Since my son started to drink gas, his IQ has dropped sharply and now he can't figure out simple addition and subtraction," the father said.

"Before that, he was a very smart boy, and he could even repair the television. But now he does not know the answer of 7 plus 17."

that's definately fuel for thought. I bet if you asked him he'd say his experiences were a gas

This is ****ing hilarious.

I don't really know what made me sadder, This kids story or the fact that the new transformers movie has been as successful as it has...

 

[MJ12]

Drinking gas has clearly transformed this boy's mind, it is very sad to think that he will never reach his prime.

Some parents might say it is the fault of the television show, but these people are just using deceptive cons.

717, right?

 

[Hurricane]

Man, that kid must be a real hot-head to do that. Maybe it runs in the family though. Even the dad sounds like he's about to burn up over this.

Drinking gasoline makes you diesel!

 

[ríomhaire]

Do you constantly Google Transformers or something Stern?

 

[Dog--]

They should send out petrols so no more kids can steal gas.

"Before that, he was a very smart boy, and he could even repair the television. But now he does not know the answer of 7 plus 17."

Not smart enough to not drink gasoline though...

 

[Danimal]

I'm surprised no one has asked Stern why he was surfing chinese news websites.

(Someone probably has, I just don't read whole threads. )

 

[JFry]

Stern has a mundane excuse for all the crazy sites he looks at. Frankly, I'm not buying it.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

That kid is more than meets the eye.

 

[arch5]

I'm worried about this kid. If he drinks too much gasoline, he could turn into optimus prime and become a large threat to global security.

 

[highlander]

hahahaha

I'm worried about this kid because there are dumbasses like this that are alive. Seriously, how can you be that idiotic? [Not you, dabomb]

 

[Tyguy]

i guess he's a good person to have around if you run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere

"hey, can you vomit in this gas tank for me?"

 

[Eejit]

Still, even if he couldn't add or subtract I'm sure all that petrol made him pretty good at handling fractions.

 

[CptStern]

lol, some great puns in this thread. willie doesnt know what he's talking aboot

 

[jet_porkins]

They should send out petrols so no more kids can steal gas.

Thread should have ended here.

Alternatively, here:

Good one ZT.

A pun is the sign of a quick mind, I always say.

 

[swan_song1973]

that kid is hardcore.

 

[AKIRA]

am i the only one wondering how this kid didn't die or get seriously sick from drinking even a remote amount of gasoline?!

 

[swan_song1973]

because he's chinese?

 

[Maestro]

This is not a photoshop is the best part.

 

[Remus]

Good point. He was 14 years old when he started drinking gasoline.
Seriously WTF?! By that age I would assume that it would be common sense that something like car fuel is toxic... :|

 

[AKIRA]

this has to be fake...how is no on addressing the fact that this kid should be dead by even drinking a small amount of ****ing gas
